Exercise 10.6 Assume in Example X.10 alternative distributions for and choose the best model in combination

Exercise 10.6 Assume in Example X.10 alternative distributions for θ and choose the best model in combination with a normal distribution for chol or log(chol) using DIC. Exercise 10.7 Evaluate which of the four models in ‘chapter 10 Poisson models on dmft scores.odc’: (1) Poisson model, (2) Poisson-gamma model, (3) zero-inflated Poisson model and (4) mixture of four Poisson models, fits best the dmft scores. Note that WinBUGS does not support pD and DIC for models (3) and (4).
